Kohli flops once? Rubbish Anushka a 100 times!

While there’s hardly any field that Twitter doesn’t singe and create controversy, this year was
a particular bad year for social media and cricket. A high number of controversies were
generated and cricketers were left fuming at the chain of events.

A look at some of them…

Kohli-Anushka: Runs, runs, runs and still tonnes of brickbats!

While cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Sir Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma have been the
butt of Twitter jokes for their on-field performances, one struggles to think the last time Virat Kohli was in really bad form. Feels like another era.
But he still has been facing the brunt of it thanks to his relationship with Bollywood actress
Anushka Sharma. A long time back when he faced a period of bad form, instead of attacking
him, some wise aleck blamed Anushka and it trended.

While it was in bad taste, social media would repeat the process whenever Kohli was in bad
form and lately when he has been in sensational form the Anushka jokes would be out even
in a rare Kohli cheap dismissal!

Kohli had had enough and Tweeted a graphic with the word “Shame” with the following…

…that seemed to end the argument that there was indeed something gravely wrong. While no
names were taken, all the fingers were pointed at Harsha Bhogle and some of the following
Tweets were presented as evidence…

Bangladesh have used the conditions beautifully. Have to say they are ahead at this stage.

With that he posted a video of him hitting him for a six to get a Test triple century at the
historic Multan match where we won a Test on Pakistan soil for the first time and went on to
win the series!

When Shami clean bowled his trolls

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami posted some delightful photos of his family and he got
trolled because his wife was wearing a gown! While the disgusting comments came one after
another, Shami showed that he can bowl Yorkers both on and off the field with this Facebook
post…

Kaif trolled at the death (of 2016)…

While the last day of the year is spent for celebrations, the trolls continued till the very end.
